Les Dolmens St Cernin de Larche

Dolmen de la Palein: Located on the CAUSSE de St CERNIN at an altitude of 276m. A funerary monument dating from the Middle Neolithic (-3100 / -2500), it stood beneath an oval-shaped tumulus measuring 28m by 15.50m. It is formed by limestone slabs 0.20m to 0.40m thick, three of which, placed vertically, form the solid supports of its table, which has the following dimensions: length: 2.85m, width: 2.43m, thickness: 0.40m.

Excavated in 1865, the emptied dolmen contained only a few bone fragments and coarse pottery.
